Abstract:

Between 2013 and 2021 several imported terra sigillata fragments were discovered in the principia of the Roman auxiliary fort and the military vicus during excavations and field surveys at Călugăreni / Mikháza. The current study is based on a preliminary analysis of 81 fragments from 73 terra sigillata vessels, which will allow a better understanding of certain aspects of the fort’s and the settlement’s daily life, expand the interpretative possibilities of certain contexts and provide insight into the region’s commercial network in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD.
